The meeting place of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh & Maharashtra

Aswaththama is a character from Indian mythology. As such he was a very learned, brave and pious man. He was bestowed with a bright jewel in his forehead right from his birth. But in the end, in his last war, out of frustration, he killed his enemies when they were asleep. This was totally against the ethics prevailing at that time. His rivals, the mighty Pandavas, defeated him and caught him alive. But as he was (and he is believed to be) immortal by a boom from God, they did not kill him. Instead as revenge, they forcefully cut the jewel from his forehead and left him bleeding and suffering. It is believed that from that onwards (Now about 2500 years) he is wandering in this forest with his bleeding wound.
